To  the  School  People  of  California : 

This  digest  of  educational  bills  has  been  prepared  for  the  informa 
tion  of  all  who  are  interested  in  educational  matters.  In  submitting  the 
digest,  we  wish  to  point  out  the  impossibility  of  including  all  the  matter 
contained  in  the  various  bills.  Only  the  most  important  features  of  the 
various  measures  are  set  forth.  Errors  will  be  found  undoubtedly,  but 
we  trust  the  readers  will  realize  that  in  matters  of  this  kind,  accuracy 
must  sometimes  be  sacrificed  to  make  the  necessary  haste.  Copies  of  the 
digest  may  be  had  on  application  to  the  State  Board  of  Education. 

Very  truly  yours, 

WILL  C.  WOOD, 
Commissioner  of  Secondary  Schools.
